Magnus Abe, a former senator from
Rivers, says the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state is in crisis
because Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, expelled him from the
party.
Abe and Amaechi have been at
loggerheads since the build-up to the 2019 general election.
The in-fighting caused the APC in
Rivers to lose all elective positions in the state.
In a statement on Tuesday, Abe
said despite pleas by some party members, Amaechi is determined to keep him
expelled from the party.
“Nigerians are aware that the
crisis in the APC in Rivers state had its origin in the unconstitutional
decision of the leader of the party in the state, Rt Hon Chibuike Rotimi
Amaechi to summarily expel me, and other leaders of the party in the state seen
as sympathetic to my governorship ambition for no discernible reason,” he said.
“He announced this publicly at
the meeting of party stakeholders held at the Dome.
“He stated at that meeting that
Senator Abe and all those sympathetic to him must leave the party and went
further to state that he was ready to destroy the party in Rivers state to
achieve that objective.
“Despite the pleas of several
leaders present at that meeting. In fact Mr Loolo Ibieneye told him that the
path he has chosen was not only unconstitutional but will lead the party to
disaster.”
Abe said while the in-fighting
continued, he was made to look like “a desperate politician who destroyed his
party because of his personal ambition”.
He said because of this, he has
decided to sue some individuals and media houses.
